They’ve completely abandoned the run game, but Rutgers is still respecting the tendencies and run blitzing. They’ll figure it out eventually, but you have to score a TD here and also figure out a way to manufacture some run yards later.

O barely trying to even run it anymore…and it’s the right call.

One of the big surprises and concerns for me so far this season is the lack of pass rush and general physicality upfront on D. Really pitiful so far, and honestly at this point they should almost never be bringing just 3 or 4 IMO. Not only can they not get home, they also can’t cover on the...

Man, what a gut shot. Coin flip game at home coming off a bye week and your top two backs are STILL out. Talk about some bad luck. Sort of the reverse of the situation last year when Rutgers was missing Monangai, right? Hopefully the outcome flips as well :-)

Minnesota Indiana PSU I was gonna pick TCU so I’ll take that L lol

It’s probably a smart bet considering what we’ve seen so far and the fact I doubt there will be much of a home field advantage at 11 am coming off a loss, but I do hope you post back about your $$ losses if Minnesota covers. It’s still pretty early in the season to make sweeping projections...

First legal challenge on this will be approximately 2 days after spring practices start. Lawyers among us who have been following NCAA stuff: will this — and any other regulation passed — stand up in court without legislation behind it?

Ooof yes great point…I definitely forgot that and was frustrated by it last night. Just gotta hope it’s one of those early season things and not the D being too slow or tentative. Obviously Cal has way more dynamic athletes than Buffalo or NW St.

Disappointing loss that was there for the taking. No two ways about that. Not likely to be a “special” season for MN, but I still think it’s a 7 or 8 win team — and many people predicted and would’ve been OK with that outcome before the season given the amount of talent lost to the NFL and...

Minnesota Golden Gophers Clemson Tigers Georgia Bulldogs Duke Blue Devils

Agree 18 is tough for scheduling. I’m guessing they’ll use a “pods” scenario once they get to 20+ and still put the top 2 teams in CCG. Everyone would play all the teams in their pod and one other, plus 1 or 2 more conf games. I’d actually love an unscheduled opponent the last week of the...

Yup, same line on Draftkings with an O/U of 44.5. So roughly 24 - 21 type game. 68% of ML bets on MN, but 78% of spread bets on Cal. 83% of O/U bets on the under so that may have moved already from a higher number.

Thank you for posting this! I watched it live yesterday and it was probably the weirdest play I’ve ever seen in my life. The refs threw a flag for “illegal kicking” (which I don’t think I’ve ever seen — and couldn’t explain), but the receiving team was able to decline that because they returned...

IMO, Morgan is WAAAAY better than Gardner was last week…and many other color commentators I’ve heard in recent years.

For the first game of the season (and with a new starter at EVERY position), I thought the OL played very well. I’d go solid B. I noticed them picking up multiple complex twists/stunts (unlike early in past seasons), and Lindsey was frequently getting to his 3rd or 4th read (also impressive...

Buffalo, Miami OH, and Ohio are pretty much the consensus top 3 picks in the MAC. Ohio put up 31 on Rutgers and lost by 3. Miami was down 3-0 at half and 10-0 after 3 quarters to Wisconsin, but they did get statistically battered. MN outgained Buffalo by about 300 yards and about 20 more...

Yup. It’s unfortunate they’re only up 7, but they’re obviously dominating the game in every facet. KEY errors though. Two bad drops, the failed 4th down with a foot to go, the fluke INT. One lackluster drive by the D where Buffalo schemed a couple easy throws and popped a run. I predict a 27 -...
